More Than a Dance Class
What is Zouk?
Brazilian Zouk is a partner dance that stems from the French Caribbean musical roots and became blended with Brazil's famous Lambada. Over the past decade it has taken North America by storm and has rapidly become one of the most influential and versatile dances in the world.
It's as if Tango, Salsa, West Coast Swing & Ecstatic Dance aligned to perfectly emerge one dance that is so incredibly versatile.
Who We Are
We create beautifully crafted inclusive spaces for people to come and connect, socialize, learn and grow through dance. We believe that movement is the fundamental basis of life — and that with the beauty of dance comes healing, happiness & harmony.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced dancer, our space is designed to challenge you, inspire you, and welcome you home. Every Monday, every Friday — we show up for each other.
Over 8 years of top-notch events & classes, monthly mini festivals, and an annual international convention — serving hundreds of dancers weekly.
